“Bipasha
and
John
in
Goal
will
be
different
from
what
they
were
in
Jism.
Don"t
expect
the
same
kind
of
magic.
Give
them
a
break," says
Pooja
Bhatt,
producer
of
Jism,
the
first
film
that
brought
John
Abraham
and
Bipasha
Basu
together.
The
smoldering
sparks
between
the
two
had
set
the
sea
in
Pondicherry
on
a
crackling
fire.
“My
chemistry
with
Aamir
Khan
in
Dil
Hai
Ki
Manta
Nahin
can"t
be
repeated,"
she
said,
reiterating
the
intensity
quotient
between
stars,
maybe
the
'It"
factor
that
remains
etched
forever.
The
other
two
films
that
this
duo
has
done,
Aetbaar
and
Madhoshi
sank
without
a
trace.
Pooja
looks
back
at
Jism
with
fond
memories.
She
still
remembers
how
John
agreed
to
do
the
film
even
though
the
heroine
was
not
cast
and
in
spite
of
knowing
that
his
female
counterpart
will
be
having
the
more
meatier-n-juicier
role.
In
fact
Pooja
had
told
the
hunky
model
that
the
song
'Awarapan"
(picturised
on
him)
will
be
remembered
much
more
than
'Jaadu
Hai
Nasha
Hai".
“When
John
and
Bipasha
will
look
back
through
the
mist
of
time,
they"d
realize
Jism
is
and
will
always
be
the
defining
film
in
their
career."
Bipasha
has
recently
been
anointed
as
the
sexiest
woman
in
Asia
by
a
UK
based
newspaper.
What
are
your
comments?
“I"m
glad
that
Asia
has
woken
up
to
the
fact
that
Bipasha
is
the
hottest.
That
was
the
reason
why
I
had
made
her
the
face
of
my
film.
She
was
on
all
the
hoardings.
How
often
do
you
see
a
woman
on
the
hoardings
of
films?"
Well,
let"s
rewind
to
Jism
yet
again.
The
raw
sensuality
oozed
by
Bipasha
was
a
mind
boggling
experience
for
the
viewers.
How
did
you
convince
her
into
doing
such
a
role
as
this?
“Bipasha
had
her
apprehensions.
As
a
woman
I
would
never
disregard
female
form.
But
I
can"t
create
that
magic
again,"
Pooja
says.
What
about
John?
You"ve
directed
him
in
your
debut
film
Paap.
How
do
you
rate
him
as
an
actor?
“John
is
a
director"s
actor.
He
surrenders
completely.
If
John
is
bad
in
a
film
then
it
is
the
director
who"s
bad.
His
debut
in
Jism
was
sensational
but
people
woke
up
to
him
only
after
Dhoom,"
Pooja
sighs.
Pooja
Bhatt
is
a
busy
woman
who
is
always
in
the
middle
of
something
or
the
other.
She
is
writing
a
book
and
considering
the
fact
that
she
is
a
fantastic
writer
(her
columns
in
a
Mumbai
tabloid
are
a
testimony
to
that),
it
will
be
a
treat
worth
looking
forward
to.
But,
for
now
she
is
not
willing
to
talk
about
the
book
writing
experience
at
all.
Alright,
let"s
get
you
guys
some
dope
on
the
big
budget
movie
she
is
directing
next
starring
Aap
Ka
Surroor
star
Himesh
Reshammiya.
So,
is
the
budget
really
a
whopping
Rs
30
crore?
“Yes
it
is.
We
are
shooting
in
three
continents
in
places
like
Morocco
(most
of
the
film
will
be
shot
here),
England,
Dubai,
India
and
Pakistan."
What
do
you
think
of
Himesh"s
acting
talent?
“I
work
with
people
because
I
believe
in
them,"
Pooja
signs
off.
